“Just Give Him the Whale!” by Paula Kluth and Patrick Schwarz, outlines strategies for teaching students with autism by incorporating the child’s specific interests into instruction. Some of the topics covered include how such interests can be used when teaching communication and social skills as well as the potential role they can serve in problematic situations. The book is primarily targeted to those providing educational services, but may also be found useful by parents who seek to systematically teach verbal behavior, play, and social skills to their children. The book is organized into short, consumable chapters, each focusing on a specific advantage of incorporating students’ idiosyncratic interests into the typical educational setting. The authors clearly articulate reasons for capitalizing on these interests, including expanding social opportunities and building classroom expertise which they then explain in more detail in each chapter. The teaching strategies discussed are structured around real-life stories and reports from children and adults with autism, their parents, and their teachers. …
